Opinion of the Court

23-11384

Before JILL PRYOR, BRASHER, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

The Government's motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant
to the appeal waiver in Appellant's plea agreement is GRANTED.
See United States v. Bushert, 997 F.2d 1343, 1350-51 (11th Cir. 1993)
(holding that a sentence-appeal waiver will be enforced if it was
made knowingly and voluntarily); United States v. Boyd,
975 F.3d 1185, 1192 (11th Cir. 2020) (noting that the touchstone for
assessing if a sentence appeal waiver was made knowingly and vol-
untarily is whether it was clearly conveyed to the defendant that
he was giving up his right to appeal under most circumstances);
United States v. Grinard-Henry, 399 F.3d 1294, 1296 (11th Cir. 2005)
(holding that waiver of the right to appeal includes waiver of the
right to appeal difficult or debatable legal issues or even blatant er-
ror).
